Book News: Lady Returns Library Book 31 Years Late
May 13th, 2009I think this story is hilarious for a couple of reasons…first, it is funny that the lady had the book for 31 years! From St. Augustine.com:
On March 16, 1978, with Jimmy Carter in the White House and Dick Cavett on late night TV, Sarah McKee walked into a library and borrowed a book.
On this day her eye fell on Alvin M. Josephy’s “The Patriot Chiefs,” about great Indian leaders.
It was due April 5.
This month — three decades, one career, five presidents, three relocations, seven grandchildren and thousands of books later — McKee happened to open “The Patriot Chiefs,” spotted the library card in the pocket and thought: “Drat.”
Haha…That’s funny. But my question is…why wasn’t she treated like the last tardy book returner I wrote about?
